For Disclosing the Persecution at Hunan Province's Baimalong Forced Labor Camp, Ms. Yu Yingzhu Is Denied Family Visitation Rights

(Clearwisdom.net) Dafa practitioner Ms. Yu Yingzhu, incarcerated at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp in Zhuzhou City, has been forbidden to have family visitations because she told of her persecution experiences at the camp during a family visit.

Ms. Yu Yingzhu, 32 years old, used to be held at a detention center and detained at a mental hospital because she firmly believed in Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance. She has served a three-year term at the Baimalong Labor Camp already. She was tortured and lost consciousness twice. The camp released her ten days after she completed her three-year term. On June 8, 2004 the police broke into her home, arrested her and incarcerated her at Baimalong again. Ms. Yu Yingzhu was locked in small cell for eight days, forced to stand, and not permitted to sleep or eat. These tortures made her weak, dizzy and develop whole body edema, from which she still suffers symptoms.

On May 1, 2006, Yu's mother went to the camp to visit her. Yu Yingzhu told her mother that the camp authorities had incited several drug addicts to push her to the floor and forced her to sign a Repentance Statement. A guard nearby interrupted the women's conversation. The guard took her away, thus terminating the visit.

On May 3 a family member attempted to visit Ms. Yu, but was refused by the camp after the family pleaded with the camp officials for the whole morning. During the negotiations, Yu's mother listed all the incidents of persecution that happened to her daughter, such as standing in a small cell for eight days and nights, resulting in body edema with more severe symptoms in the hands and feet; withholding her clothes for no reason so that Ms. Yu could only wear a thin shirt in the winter. However, the No. 7 Brigade chief who was personally involved in the persecution of practitioners denied any wrong-doing.

During the discussion, police officer Liu, ID 4329075, told Ms. Yu's family in a malicious tone, "Hey, no one died yet!" and another one, ID 4329150 shouted "Don't come if you do not cooperate with us!" The police officer on duty with ID 4329175 attempted to deceive the family by saying, "We don't do Falun Gong "transformation" anymore." When the family asked for the immediate release of Ms. Yu, he responded with a vicious laugh. Wu Hongyi, production division head, responded to accusations of persecution of the Falun Gong practitioners at the camp by saying, "There is no such thing. No one dies at our camp!"

The Zhuzhou City's Baimalong Forced Labor Camp is one of the camps where Dafa practitioners are severely persecuted. It was not long ago that a letter was sent to United Nations human rights commission signed by over a thousand family members of illegally detained practitioners at the Baimalong Forced Labor Camp to appeal for an investigation into that camp's extremely cruel crimes.
